If you stopped over after visiting Joyce over at Joyce's Creative Crafts you are right on track, if not hop on over to Jo's and starting hopping from the start!
I have been on a mission to use my stash!! I LOVE to take something old and make something new!
For my project I decided to show you how I use my punches, dies and scrap paper to make embellishment clusters:
First I pull out my some of my punches:
And some dies:
Then I just punch out and die cut until all my scraps are gone:
I sort them in a divided container:
Next I just grab pieces and start layering:
I sew on some of them, add ribbon, gems, fun fur and DoubleClickSkittles for that extra touch!
Once I am done I keep all my finished embellishments in a little drawer on my craft counter:
I also have some Blog candy to share, just be a follower and leave a comment! (sorry US only due to high custom fees)
